§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration he has given to the Disablement Income Group's document " DIG's national disability income "; what action he is taking; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PrenticeI have studied the group's proposals for a disability income with interest and shall bear them in mind as we review the help given to disabled people. Progress depends on the strength of the economy and it is clear that financial constraints will not permit the introduction of any new disablement benefits for some considerable time.
